Stoner & Spaz by Ron Koertge is a book about a 16 year old boy - Ben Bancroft - who has cerebral palsy which is a condition that has disabilities. Ben Bancroft has been living a difficult life since kid. As he grew up, he had no parents who took care of him. Most of the time, it was mainly his overprotective grandmother. Ben’s closest thing to happiness is hunkering alone in the back of the Rialto Theatre, watching Bride of Frankenstein. But of course, the last thing he wants is to run into someone who is drugged out like Colleen Minou who wears resplendent ripped tights, neon skirt, and an impressive array of tattoos. Ben gets that unmistakable feeling that his life is about to change when he rest a woozy head on Colleen Minou shoulder.


When I opened this book, I expected this book to talk about weed and people who smokes a lot called stoners. Although this book does talks about Ben Cancroft wanting to run into a drugged out person, I wished this book was more about stoners like what the title says - Stoner & Spaz.


I recommend this book to stoners and teens who are either morphans or doesn’t have parents because this book relates to stoners just a little bit because it talks about marijuana. Not only that, I think the audience for this book is for teens in general but the main audience is for teens who doesn’t has parents. One reason why I recommend this book is because nowadays, teens are smoking marijuana and marijuana is the trend at this very moment in our lifetime.
